Social media personality and wrestler Logan Paul has revealed that he fired his newborn daughter’s nurse after just one hour as he found the way she communicated with others “terrible.”
In late September, Paul took to Instagram to announce that he and his fiancée, model Nina Agdal, had welcomed the arrival of their first child together, named Esmé.
However, as the couple settled into their new lives with a baby, Paul said that he soon regretted his decision to do “the rich people thing” by hiring a nurse.
“I realized the idea of someone else raising my child in any capacity is a f****** crazy thought,” Paul said on a recent episode of his Impaulsive podcast, which was released on October 8. “We’ll get nannies out of pure necessity.”
Paul went on to state that he dismissed his daughter’s nurse “within the first hour, because she was just so bad…she was so bad. Horrible.”
The internet personality explained that he decided to hire the nurse in question because of a list of high-profile people she had previously worked for—but he said his own experience with her left a lot to be desired.
“I arrive to the house that we’re staying at right now, with my child, exhausted from the hospital, you know,” he told his co-host Mike Majlak. “First night just learning how to be a dad, I sit on the couch, Esmé on my chest, relaxing. I’m in a happy, happy place.
“Baby nurse, comes over—by the way, barely know this woman, interviewed her a few times on the Zoom—she comes over. She goes, ‘OK, wake the baby up! She has to feed!’ Overbearing is the word. Thirty red flags within 15 minutes.
“And so I took her aside and I said, ‘I have to just [be] candid with you, because we’ve got to communicate. You’re a roommate now, and also, like, you’re our baby nurse.'”

Paul added that the unnamed nurse “made Nina cry. I left her alone with Nina. And this woman was [saying], ‘Do this, do this, do this.’ Nina goes, she’s like, ‘It’s just so hectic. She’s just so hectic.'”
As a result, Paul said that he told the nurse she was “coming across, like, pretty overbearing. I gave her some very candid feedback about her style. And just like in general, she’s way too loud, just like, trying to control everything.”
However, Paul recalled how he noticed none of his feedback was being taken in.
“I go, ‘It’s very important to me that I know that you are capable of downloading and receiving the feedback that I’m giving you,'” he continued. “She starts laughing. I go, ‘This isn’t super funny, like, what? What are you laughing at?’ She goes, ‘You are just so serious.’ I go, ‘Are you capable of implementing the notes that I’m giving you, involving how to raise and deal with my child?'”
According to Paul, the nurse was “incapable of understanding what I was saying.”
“After I fired her, we got her a car, we got her out of there,” he said. “She texted [to say], ‘No hard feelings.’ By the way, I bookended it with incredible [words]. I was like, ‘I don’t want this to be awkward, anything you need from us for the rest of the night, tell us, give me a hug.’ I said, ‘I’m sorry if I’ve upset you.’
“She goes, ‘Anything I need?’ I go, ‘Yeah.’ She goes, ‘Can you sign six bottles of [his energy drink] Prime?’ I go, ‘I 100 percent made the right decision. Jesus, Mother of God.”
Paul concluded the story by stating that when the nurse sent her post-dismissal text message to him, she also got the baby’s name wrong. Per Paul, the former employee corrected her mistake two days later with a single-word text message reading “Esmé”—without providing any context or an explanation.
